Don Chon Taco Truck

I ate at this truck last week and today when they came to my job for a private event. Last week I got the Chow Fun which is some sort of noodles (resembled pad thai) and a bunch of stir fryed veggies with a meat. I had mine with shrimp. I didn’t like this dish much at all. The guy said he was giving me the very last helping. So I don’t know if I just got the bottom of a batch and that had an affect on the taste. But it was very, very salty. But the shrimp was cooked very well. The other item I had was the bbq pork taco. Really good!
Today I just got the 3 taco sampler for $ 6…I got one kung pao chicken taco and the other two were the bbq pork. VERY GOOD! I suggest getting them LA style with the grilled onions and bacon on top. Very tasty!

I found the Don Chon Taco Truck parked at the intersection of Jefferson and Hoover today (on the USC lot behind the University United Church).
The menu is not too extensive, but there are tacos, burritos, bowls, tortas, Chinese tamales and a couple other things. The cuisine is a Mexican-​Chinese fusion, which I was skeptical of at first, but I was eager to try. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised!
I had the 3 Taco Combo ($ 6) with Chinese BBQ Pork, Carne Asasa and Soy Ginger Shrimp (Shrimp 50 cents extra). The order was prepared in about 5 minutes, and I was happy with the service.
The taco combo was the perfect portion for a *light* lunch. I probably could have eaten 2 more though. The Chinese BBQ Pork was very juicy, and flavorful without being too salty. The Soy Singer Shrimp was my favorite, namely because I love shrimp tacos. The shrimp tasted fresh and well-​flavored, and it came with a slice of fresh avocado on top! The sauce on the shrimp was my favorite, sweet and tangy and a good complement to the shrimp. The Carne Asada was just okay in comparison to the other two, but also fresh and tasty as well. All of the tacos were topped with diced onions, which also contributed well to the flavor experience.
Overall, Don Chon is worth a try with their prompt service, fresh ingredients and tasteful grasp of fusion flavoring!

This taco truck is usually found on Vermont by Ralph’s. The first time I went, the lady recommended that I try the torta de carnitas. It was really good! I’ve gone there about 5 more times and that is always what I order. I would like to try something else one day but the thing is that I usually only go there when I feel like having a torta.
The lady that works there is really nice and friendly and the price of the torta is $ 5.45 which I think is reasonable. The only bad thing that they are really slow! I usually wait 15 – 20 minutes for my torta regardless of whether there are other customers ahead of me.
